Curious if anyone has seen any interviews or opinions from other competitors and what they think about this...?
You can be guaranteed that they've already been prompted to make a statement that doesn't criticize the games, the rules or the "spirit of competition"
You can't display logos of something that hasn't paid their dues to the IOC.. do you think they'll let someone criticize the IOC's decision to let someone compete who clearly isn't athletic enough to be there in the first place?? gotta keep this illusion going..
I don't blame her.. not completely.. everyone starts somewhere.. experience is the best teacher.. been there done that in my brief skating career.. My opinion is the IOC is to blame..
good on her for going out there.. do the training runs.. but really.. leave the competition for the kids that came to try and win.
I know from figure skating.. you couldn't compete at certain levels unless you could provide competency.. not just placement.. actual skills testing.
If you can't land a double axle or double flip.. forget it.. you can't even sign up to compete..
I realize park/pipe are still "new" but some standardized testing/certification would go a long way to ensuring this doesn't happen again..
